We will come back to it. A few PPPs were mentioned in the report. I am pleased a penalty charge has been provided for if the Central Criminal Courts complex is unavailable for any period due to flooding of 1% or €204,000. The Department will save 1% of the annual payment and that is good. Aside from the non-availability for that one day, surely there were knock-on costs and delays. When the staff returned the following day, they had to pick up the day's work that was missed and move on. Is there a mechanism to address the knock-on costs that were incurred?
